Exhibition Label: "Time/Frame," Jun-2008, Robert Fucci, Shuyun Ho, Lauren Kernes, Lara Kuykendall, Ellen C. Raimond, and Stephanie Teasley Alan Brummell’s Grandfather Clock is a witty take on an old standard. This grandfather is stuck in the 1960s as a peace-loving hippie. He is certainly far less imposing in stature than the tall, chiming grandfather clocks to which we are accustomed, but no less eager to help you keep to your daily schedule. This clock is not for sale-it is part of the Spencer’s Time/Frame exhibition, on view through December 14 in the North and South Balcony Galleries. Brummell’s clock is also part of the Museum’s Classroom Collection, an outreach tool available to area art teachers, who may check out works for study and display in their classrooms.
